The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S.
industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain coated paper suitable
for high-quality print graphics using sheet-fed presses from China and Indonesia that the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are subsidized and sold in the United
States at less than fair value.

As a result of the USITC's affirmative threat determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping
and countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from China and Indonesia.

The Commission's public report Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print Graphics
Using Sheet-Fed Presses from China and Indonesia (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-470-471 and
731-TA-1169-1170 (Final), USITC Publication 4192 , November 2010) will contain the views of
the Commissioners and information developed during the investigations.
